Do you know listening loud music with earphones for more than 90 minutes a day may turn you deaf? It is not a jest but reality that has been proved by a study conducted in United States.
This study revealed the fact, that the people who listen to loud music with earphones more than 90 minutes in a day may suffer from various hearing disorders.
Fligor, an audiologist at the Children’s Hospital of Boston and faculty of Harvard Medical School, expressing her deep concern about this problem said:
I worry about the teenager who’s going to be 23, 24, 25 years old and has a measurable noise-induced hearing loss and now has another 60-something years to live with his hearing which is only going to get worse.
It means the music that may relax you, is actually marring your hearing. So, it is better to avoid listening to high-pitched music. I am not asking the music nerds to stop listening to music at all but they can atleast listen to it in a low tone and that too in short intervals in order to avoid the risk of being deaf.
